Ngaineilam Haokip
Assistant Professor
About-
My area of interest includes Philosophy of Mind, Moral Philosophy, Applied Ethics, Philosophy of Language. My interest mainly lies in the relationship between Personal Identity and Moral Responsibility, as I want to bring out the link between Metaphysics and Ethics (Value Theory). One of the most important Philosopher in this area is Derek Parfit and I believe his standpoint present us with an interesting situation. I would like to critcally examine his theory again (I have done some in my Ph.D Thesis), but from a different perspective.
